Timeline

The aim is to release with the next mainstream Fedora release, Fedora 18

Tasks

If any of these areas interest you, please put your name next to an item, and indicate when you think you might be able to complete the task, etc.

Develop the list of primary audio packages. (collab)

Develop the list of other audio packages. (collab)

Develop a list of system tweaks to improve the user experience (bsjones: currently looking at the kxstudio suite of tools. It provides jack / pulseaudio / ALSA midi integration. Needs some work to be packaged for Fedora)

Publish the first cut via torrent/site for SIG feedback. (crantila: this should be done via fedorahosted?) (dtimms: not sure, but time is of essence - so I have tried publishing both the torrent and ks so that people can further test the spin).

Make a cool name for the spin.

Prioritize tasks; assign them to people.

Team up with Artwork for themes and CDs/DVDs. (Jørn, but anyone is allowed to contribute)

Sound Server and Configuration

Kernel and Drivers

Default Desktop Environment(s)

Gnome or KDE

Secondary Packages

Secondary packages are nice to have, but will not be on the Live CD/DVD. If there will be a separate "Installation DVD," these packages should be included.

Secondary packages may or may not already be packaged for Fedora. If a secondary package is not already available from the main Fedora repository, it should be noted here, and the package should be included on the "Wishlist" below.

The purpose of secondary packages is that they can be advertised as part of the Audio Spin, and/or we can help users install them more easily, and/or just so the Audio Creation SIG is aware that they exist and we should keep an eye on them.

Please add others that have already made the jump into Fedora, so that we can show that the SIG is making positive progress ;-)

The above table is made for ease of classification. Feel free to tailor it.

Audio Plugins

DSSI, LADSPA and LV2 plugins allow usage of wide range of audio processors and effects in many audio synthesis and recording software (Ardour, Audacity, Muse, Rosegarden,...). Fedora currently offers a list of most popular ones of these plugins. There are still many more to package:

Bugs

kickstart issues

attempt at setting the default group for all users is not recognised: you still have to mess with users and groups to add the user to jackuser. this is probably one of the key things that is needed for the spin to be instantly usable by beginners.

existing package bugs:

We want to keep track of new and existing bugs. Maybe some cached BugZilla queries?
